Muumuus and Shrinky Dinks

A friend has a wedding to go to on Saturday. Her husband is a groomsman, and the primary color for the wedding is royal blue. So my friend wanted some blue accessories to pair with a black and white dress to coordinate with her husband's wardrobe, a black suit with a blue vest. So I turned this thrifted muumuu...

If you're of a similar age bracket to me, then you may remember Shrinky Dinks. Turns out, you can make your own with #6 recyclable plastic. Awesome, huh? I took this restaurant to-go container, scribbled all over it with blue permanent marker...

I've been reading about the number 6 plastic making shrinky dinks. I love how your jewelry turned out! No I might have to try it, too. Thanks for the inspiration.
